Maya Melamed 23- Seeing my cousins



If you didn't know, I have family in Israel and Colombia. Usually, I see both sides of my family at least once or twice a year. Due to covid, I haven't been able to travel to see any of them since the pandemic started, and they haven't been able to come here. This week I was finally able to see my cousins from Colombia and it was great. They came here on Monday and are staying only until Saturday, but at least it's something. It's already difficult when you have a family that doesn't live near you, so not even being able to see them that one time a year was very hard. So far, I'm having a great time spending time with them. I will say that it's definitely different this time. We don't go out as much and do as many activities as we normally would. We went to go see the hard rock hotel because they have never seen it. We actually got there right when the light show started so it was perfect. They have never seen anything like that so they thought it was really cool. Yesterday, they decided to change their flight and stay for another week!! I was so happy to hear because it felt like this week had gone by so quick. If you have any suggestions on where I should take them, let me know. I hope that soon things will get back to normal and we can all start traveling again like before. I think that because so many people are getting vaccinated, it will help us get to that point hopefully by summer. Do you guys have family that doesn't live here? Have you been able to see any of them since corona?
